Well, I'm afraid I'm confused because I thought you were talking about going into business and then anonymous referred to your book-writing. I think I read all of your recent posts and then opened the comment page; now I can't remember which post I'm commenting on, haha.

Anyway, if you are passionate about writing and enjoy it, too, go ahead and pursue it. Obstacles will merely delay you but not stop you altogether =) Then keep on reading -- books, magazines (even comics help).
